My niece that is 13 years old told me today that her track coach is a lesbian. She also told me that said coach encourages her and her teammates to shower after practice, but some of the girls don't shower because the coaches sexuality makes them uncomfortable.

Just because she's gay doesn't mean she is also a pedophile.

So should men be able to be a women's gym coach including being in the dressing women?

Are you suggesting that a male coach should be able to watch girls shower because he is not a pedophile? I don't mind gays/lesbians coaching... but I do draw the line with showers...

What do you mean she "encourages them"? What's the standard procedure? Does the school want them to take a shower after practice? Or is it totally optional but this "lesbian" is cajoling them to take showers?
